The Best Restaurant in Oud-Zuid, Amsterdam

Background Illustration for Restaurants

Some of Amsterdam's most interesting and creative chefs can be found beyond the traditional tourist destinations in the Old-Zuid neighborhood.

Ron Gastrobar

$$

Well-known Dutch chef Ron Blaauw lends star power to this casual, stripped-down space, where each small plate costs a modest sum (dry-aged steaks are the sole exceptions). The creative, globally inspired, locally sourced preparations are beautifully presented and full of interesting flavors, such as celeriac dim sum with mushroom XO sauce and pandan leaf dressing, and crispy sweetbreads with Indian butter chicken-style lentils. Two to three dishes make a lovely meal, especially when accompanied with a glass of wine or two from their thoughtfully chosen list.
